    Same here. My dog has figured out that she gets a treat if she barks. Now she barks constantly. It's so annoying!!!! My dog is way too smart too.

    Dogs also bark from boredom and lonliness. Keep them company!

    Good article and helpful to many I am sure. Our dog gets so excited running the fence and barking at the neighbors. He doesn't appear to hear us. I will try your tips and see if I can get his attention. He is large, strong and part lab and pit. We love "Chewy" so much!

    This technique actually works! Thanks! The problem is, she will bark once just so I will pull out a treat just so when she stops I have to give her a treat. She is a genius! Help!

    Re: I finally got my neighbors dogs to stop barking! I used to have a problem with my neighbors dogs that would constantly bark day and night. At first I thought it would stop but it went on day after day. I finally confronted my neighbor about the problem and he said that he would try to do something about it. I work very long hours and try to get as much sleep as possible but I am constantly awakened by the barking dog many times during the night. You cannot imagine how frustrating this is unless you have been in this situation. I finally ended up going on the internet to research my problem and I am so glad that I did. I ended up buying a compact disc from a website. You play the disc and it actually stops the dogs from barking. I put the disc in, pointed the speakers towards the dogs, and nearly fell out of my chair when it actually worked!!! Somehow, the dogs can hear the

    If your dog barks when you leave the house, ignore him for at least 10 minutes when you get back home. Give yourself time to hang up your coat, pop away the keys, and when you are ready - call the dog to you. Do not let him cry for your attention. You are the alpha dog, not him.

    After you're sure there's no reason to be barking, or it's gone on too long, squirt some lemon juice in their mouth. Use the lemon juice in the plastic lemons you find at the grocery store. It may take a couple of times, but eventually, all you'll have to say is, "Do you want some lemon?" or even showing it to them will do the trick.

    When your dog starts to act anxious or scared, don't give him hugs or kisses. The dog thinks there is something wrong and gets even more scared. Some time when it isn't storming, put your dog in a room and play storm sounds from a CD or tape - softly. Then when the dog isn't bothered by it, turn it up a little. Continue this until the dog isn't bothered when it is really loud.

    When my dog starts barking, I give him his toy. This fills his mouth so he can't bark.

    If you keep your dog on the leash, it's easier to teach them. They can't run off or get distracted.

    My owners made up some noise cans (soda cans with coins in them). Every time I started to bark, they would shake the can and say "be quiet." I hated the noise of the can and learned to be a very quiet dog.

    Remember that barking is their only way of communicating with us, so try to understand what he is trying to tell you, and let him know he has your attention and you understand what he is barking about.
